Hi,
@smokey01 Yes, I'll agree with you it's probably a matter of GTK+ 3
Anyway, if I do not tire you, please have a look at the code below:

Code: Select all

isitTheBlank=$(sed 's/[[:blank:]]*/·/g' <<<$"These are packages from all enabled repositories, except for base and base-devel ones. Also, you\'ll find packages that are locally installed, such as AUR packages.")

yad --form --width="350" --height="130" --borders=5 --center --window-icon="system-software-install" --title="About ArchLinux Packages Viewer" --image="system-software-install" --image-on-top --text="<span font_size='medium' font_weight='bold'>View Lists of Installed Packages</span>\n${isitTheBlank}" --buttons-layout="center" --button='Κλείσιμο!window-close!Κλείνει το πα

How to make yad update instead of accumulate when piping data!

Code: Select all

PATTERN='s/^.*Address: ([0-9A-Z:]*)/\n\1/p 
s/^.*Quality=([^ ]*).*Signal level=(.*)/\1 \2/p 
s/^.*key:([onf]*)/~\1~/p 
s/^.*ESSID://p'
mkfifo /tmp/pipe
exec 4<>/tmp/pipe
while true; do echo "`iwlist wlan0 scan | sed -rn "$PATTERN" | tac`" >&4; sleep 5; done &
yad --list --item-separator=';' --columns=5 --column=wlan0 --column=security --column=signal --column=mac --column=save:CHK <&4 &

Still love YAD.

Guys, maybe you can provide guidance on something....

Take a look at Misko's post, specifically at the bottom buttons. How can I create a list of buttons going vertical and horizontal. Currently, I just get a long line of them going across AND it stretches past my screen width; not pretty. So like the generic OK and Cancel buttons but enhanced to list maybe 5 across and 10 vertical lines.

Thanks for any insight.

specify columns then if you have 16 buttons they will divide into 4x4 etc

Code: Select all

yad --columns=4

Stemsee:

Thanks but that didn't work. I guess I should attach my code:

#!/bin/bash

#Slavvo67 MMPlay Version 5.0
#This is a GUI on top of M-Player
#You can create up to 3 Playlists or choose a folder to play.
#Good idea to know the keyboard commands...
# < > go back and forward in playlist (use shift)
# Arrow keys are rewind and fast forward type buttons
# f key is for full screen or default view. You can hit it twice to see the difference.
# 9 to decrease volume and 0 to increase volume.
# Enter or Return Key goes to next video in playlist.
# Esc or Q will either quit completely or go to the next video, depending.
# If you hold down the Esc button, it will eventually end the program...
# Spacebar is pause and start.

Here is an idea I would like to get working.

Code: Select all

mkfifo -m 755 /tmp/PIPE9 2>/dev/null
exec 9<> /tmp/PIPE9

function scan (){
PATTERN='
s/^.*ESSID://p'
MENU=`iwlist wlan2 scan | sed -rn "$PATTERN" | tac | tr '\n'  '|'`
list=`echo $MENU >/tmp/scan`
echo "menu:$MENU" >&9 &
}
export -f scan

yad --notification --icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png --listen --text="Scanner" --command="geany /tmp/scan" <&9 &
while true
do
bash -c scan
sleep 4
done
This uses yad --notification --listen to change menu items. In this usage the menu items are the APs found from iwlist scan. The APs are one per line, "AP1"|"AP2"|"AP3" how to interpolate

Code: Select all

!bash -c connect1!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|
"AP1"|bash -c connect1|/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|"AP2"!bash -c connect2!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|
The problems I need to help to solve are 1) only scan on click.
2) click on menu item to select AP to connect with
3) show an icon next to each AP entry

Hi Some1:

Keeping in mind that each of the below are separate user inputs (which can be grabbed in bulk with the shift or ctrl buttons in the YAD window), I'm not sure your script would work. I could and should consolidate the script with a for / do loop but it's been working as is so I haven't really attacked my code; yet... :D

file112a=$(echo $file112 | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" }{print $1}')
file112b=$(echo $file112 | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" }{print $2}')
file112c=$(echo $file112 | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" }{print $3}')
file112d=$(echo $file112 | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" }{print $4}')

I find your script interesting, however. Thanks for that!

@slavvo67 --columns applies to --form buttons only. AFAIK there is no way to layout --button's in a grid. I will gladly stand corrected. Yad lays out all --buttons in a single horizontal row (default) or a single vertical column (by means of a style file). Tested with yad 0.36.3.

1x4 because --columns=2 is rightly ignored

Code: Select all

# yad --columns=2 --button=gtk-ok --button=gtk-cancel --button=gtk-yes --button=gtk-no &
2x2 because --columns=2 applies to --form

Code: Select all

# yad --columns=2 --no-buttons --form --field=gtk-ok:FBTN '' --field=gtk-cancel:FBTN '' --field=gtk-yes:FBTN '' --field=gtk-no:FBTN '' &

Thanks, Step. So I gather passing the button values in your example would require an awk command? We're not numbering the buttons like in my YAD example.

The MENU portion of this code preserves spaces for the yad menu, but when printed to the /tmp/ap file the space within quoted AP name disappears! i have tried variations of echo, printf, tee, redirections, bracketing, quoting ... but nothing I have tried works. There is one way that prints the desired format "My Way Cafe" but it does not print the selected item, just the first one slips through. Here is the suspect code that loses the space

Code: Select all

MENU="$(while read -r line ;do
   printf %s "${line}!bash -c \"echo "$line" > /tmp/ap\"!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|" 
done < /tmp/text)"
this is the variation that prints a line, not the selected line, in correct format

Code: Select all

MENU="$(while read -r line ;do
   printf %s "${line}!bash -c \"$(echo "$line" > /tmp/ap)\"!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|" 
done < /tmp/text)"
/tmp/ap is being watched by inotifywait -e close_write which triggers 'bash -c connectfn'. It connects after first scan without selecting AP, because one slips through! I know this is more of a coding issue than a yad issue, although it is in a yad menu, but any further help appreciated.

The problems are with escaping quotes and spaces.

As a workaround you can use print %q
printf %q "$line" escapes quotes and spaces
"MC\ cm"\ ~on~
later when you use echo -e

Code: Select all

$ echo -e  "MC\ cm"\ ~on~
it will return
"MC cm" ~on~

Code: Select all

MENU="$(while read -r line ;do
   WIFI="$(printf %q "$line")"
   printf "%s" "${line}!bash -c 'echo -e ${WIFI} > /tmp/ap'!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|"
done < /tmp/text)"
Works for echo too.

Code: Select all

MENU="$(while read -r line ;do
   WIFI="$(printf %q "$line")"
   echo -ne "${line}!bash -c 'echo -e ${WIFI} > /tmp/ap'!/usr/share/pixmaps/wireless.png|"
done < /tmp/text)"
Note that special characters in the hotspot name like "!" and "|" will make a mess in the righ-click popup because they are used as the splitters in yad --notification dialog.

One more thing I spoted in the script. No need for opening pipe and extra cat command.

Code: Select all

cat file | grep "something" > file2
grep has built in that can read files

Code: Select all

grep "something"  file > file2

Thanks @ misko_2083

'cat grep' novice error. I now know 'grep -v -e' for multiple inversions, after some research. grep --help yields only '-v, --invert-match select non-matching lines'

Your code now works perfectly. A great lesson in itself!

I had already implemented a workaround, in the pop up gui for password/id input, I simply listed scan results selector.

Thanks again

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem as stemsee had above (space not showing), but for me it's the underscore not showing in the yad notification menu.
For example, I have filenames in /root/test contaning underscores

Code: Select all

root@live:~/test# ls
my_file_1  my_file_2  my_file_3
My goal is to list these files in the yad menu and process them further, however the processing works fine (open the files with leafpad, for example), the filenames are missing underscores in the menu (see screenshot)
Anyone understands what's happening here? When I uncomment "set -x" in the create_menu function, I see all names displayed correctly, here's simplified script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

on_click() {
# Help text
echo -en " Helptext \n\n text" | yad --title="Help" --text-info --wrap --fore=white --back="gray26" --fontname=Bold --height=350 --width=500 --button="gtk-close"
}
export -f on_click

quit_tray () {
pidnoti="`ps -eo pid,cmd | grep -v grep | grep "yad --notification --text=$POPUP_TEXT" | awk '{ print $1 }'`"
kill $pidnoti 2> /dev/null
rm -f $PIPE
}
export -f quit_tray

exec_file () {
leafpad "$DIR/$file"
# and/or more stuff to do with $file
}
export -f exec_file 

create_menu () {
# set -x
export DIR="/root/test"
LISTFILES="$(ls "$DIR" 2> /dev/null)"
MENU=$(
while read -r file; do
[ -n "$LISTFILES" ] && echo -n "${file}! bash -c 'export file=$file; exec_file'!gtk-ok|"
done <<< "$LISTFILES")
}
export -f create_menu

TRAY_ICON="gtk-directory"
POPUP_TEXT="Menu"
export PIPE=$(mktemp -u --tmpdir ${0##*/}.XXXXXXXX)
mkfifo $PIPE

# attach a file descriptor to the file
exec 3<> $PIPE

create_menu
GET_MENU="${MENU}|Exit! bash -c quit_tray!gtk-quit"
echo menu:"${GET_MENU}" 2> /dev/null >&3
 
GUI=$(yad --notification --text="$POPUP_TEXT" --listen \
--image="$TRAY_ICON" \
--text="$POPUP_TEXT" \
--command="bash -c on_click" <&3 ) & NOTIF_ICON=$!

Yad/the gui probably interpretes a single underscore - as an indication of an accellerator-key/shortcut.

Replace:

Code: Select all

[ -n "$LISTFILES" ] && echo -n "${file}....
with

Code: Select all

[ -n "$LISTFILES" ] && echo -n "${file//_/__}....
and you will see the filenames with underscore(s) in the tray-menu.

Please observe that file is also a command-name.
You may want to use a different varname.

Great !! Works perfectly, didn't expect the solution would be that simple, many thanks, some1 !

Yeah, good advice, better be safe.

EDIT: Here's the program I made with the concept of a file list in the menu and processing them further (in this case by loading or unloading a .squashfs or .sfs module)

I'm pretty excited about what y'all can do with the yad tray icon menu :D
Thanks stemsee and misko_2083 !!

Hey Puppers,

Since I'm not yet too familiar with YAD, I'm hoping someone here can show me what this might look like piped into YAD. TIA.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

echo "*** Temperature scale conversion ***"
echo "1. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit"
echo "2. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius"
echo -n "Select 1 or 2, then Enter:"
read choice

if [ $choice -eq 1 ]
then
  echo -n "Enter temperature (C) : "
  read tc
  # formula Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32
  tf=$(echo "scale=2;((9/5) * $tc) + 32" |bc)
  echo "$tc C = $tf F"
elif [ $choice -eq 2 ]
then
  echo -n "Enter temperature (F) : "
  read tf
  # formula Tc=(5/9)*(Tf-32)
  tc=$(echo "scale=2;(5/9)*($tf-32)"|bc)
  echo "$tf F = $tc C"
else
  echo "Please select 1 or 2 only"
  exit 1
fi

echo -n "
-->  Press any key to exit "
read echoice

exit 0
